Can be nice without the crowds
Great campground about 30 minutes north of Kernville. There is a nice general store called McNally's just 10 min short of here. We showed up on Thursday and it was nice and mellow. But then the weekend crowd showed up Friday. It got very crowded and finding a spot can get desperate. Show up early and if u can do a weekday trip, do it. I tried a little fishing but didn't catch anything. Saw some others catch a couple throw backs. The water was wonderful and low for good swimming. I'd come back for sure.
